The Official Guide to the TOEFL® Test, Fourth Edition is now available

The fourth edition of The Official Guide to the TOEFL® Test has been released. The newly released edition of the best-selling guide contains three full-length authentic tests offering students the opportunity to become familiar with the test and test format. Available in eBook and paper book formats through the ETS store and Amazon®, this is an authentic test preparation guide from ETS, developer of the TOEFL test. The latest edition of the guide is available in both English and simplified Chinese. Additional versions in Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and French will be rolled out in early 2013.

The fourth edition of The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test provides hundreds of sample questions and practical tips for each of the four sections — reading, writing, speaking and listening — and an overview of the scoring rubrics, including sample responses and feedback from ETS raters. The 653-page resource also contains the Writer's Handbook, a section focused on providing specific instruction on how to master the essay section of the test.

"We want students to be prepared and do their very best on the TOEFL test," commented Pamela Treves, Director of the TOEFL Brand. "As the creator of the TOEFL test, ETS is uniquely suited to walk students through the assessment, as well as share sample test questions that have appeared on past TOEFL tests. Being familiar with the test format and types of questions presented on test day will strengthen confidence levels for test takers. This guide is a great first step in preparing for student success."

TheOfficial Guide to the TOEFL Test is yet another resource from ETS to prepare for the TOEFL test. ETS also offers TOEFL® Practice Online (TPO), an authentic TOEFL iBT test that simulates the testing experience and provides same-day feedback on student performance.
